He hasn't been in the u18s squads in a few weeks so could well be 

Great to see A) Yorkshire Academy defeat Lancs decisively today B) 11 of our lads involved. 

Very encouraging at this pivotal time. Given the expansion of the NRL and wider proposed changes to the game, a strong academy and production line of talent will become invaluable for the sustainability and success of clubs in the future. It could well see power shifts to those clubs that invest in the future. Those that don't may wish they had. 

I watched yesterdays Academy game and Yorkshire totally dominated Lancashire throughout the game,and the scoreline proves this without a doubt.
The Lancashire side was predominantly made up of Wigan,Saints and Wolves players, and the fact that Leeds had 11 players in the Yorkshire squad certainly bodes well for the club.


These are very promising times for our junior players that are currently on the scholarship and academy pathways within the club.
The Rhinos academy system is probably in it's best shape since the golden generation emerged.


In the 2004 Grand Final, Leeds had 10 Academy produced players within our 17 man squad.
It certainly looks like the club are certainly going back to this blueprint,Which will hopefully provide sustained success in the coming years.

that's great to hear

Good win for the reserves away at Wigan 26-60, impressive.

Another big win for the reserves last night, with 11 (i think) u18s playing, including Hardy and Lloyd who are u17s. Also Ben Littlewoods return from injury. 


We really do seem to be dominating at every level this season, very hopeful for this next crop
